there's an agreement to negotiate things about them, which are continuing today in cairo. they may be temporary. they may be very, very limited and they may never materialize at all. what hamas has gained is, first of all, a certain diplomatic breakthrough. while it was going on, the prime minister of egypt went there, the foreign minister of turkey went there. what hamas has been able to do is -- >> international recognition. >> yeah. break out of its diplomatic cage a bit. that's the benefit. the other thing, this is a benefit to the people, the hamas people in gaza, fighting an internal power with the external leadership that used to be in damascus and is now dispursed all over the place. they achieved things for themselves. the people of gaza maybe in a sense of euphoria, but there's a sense of hangover. there ought to be, as there was, after cass led in 2008 and 2009, a clear contrast with a better situation. today there isn't one. that's the tragedy. that means hamas might be able to spin this into a long term political benefit for themselves. >> the counter argument

arab states have been negotiating very actively tonight in cairo, trying to get hamas an israel to agree to a truce to head off a ground invasion. israel is officially denying there are any kind of truce negotiations going on. we have to wait and see how this plays out, what will come first, a ground invasion or a truce. >> martin, you mentioned the rocket launch towards jerusalem. we've also seen for the first time in decades, rockets launched towards tel-aviv. what is this mood in tel-aviv? how are people reacting to these attacks? >> reporter: tel-aviv was always called the bubble because it has a laid back party town separated intellectually from many of the problems the country is facing. the town got a wake-up call when it was attacked by rockets in three days running now tel-aviv has been attacked. all those rockets fell harmless there in sea. the sense of the mood of the people is on the one hand there's a lot of panic, a lot of hysteria, families rushing their children to the bomb shelters, reports of children crying, stores and shops and restaurants only half-empty, the streets

cairo is one of the historical centers of the arab world. we don't have a good reading on where these guys are going, the muslim brotherhood. i'm not sure they necessarily do. we don't know how much to take literally what they say and write. they've got their internal politics, the party, the government. there's issues between them and other forces in egypt. they came into government fairly narrowly. but they're clearly trying to deepen their base. so everyone's watching really closely what they're doing with the rewriting of egypt's constitution, how these people want to consolidate power. what they say in the middle east, it's one thing to win an election. that's the easy part. are they willing to lose an election, to set up a political dynamic where there's a level playing field? i don't think we know the answer. >> whenever we're talking israel and hamas, you have to think about iran and its role. some of the long-range missile sites they bombed yesterday in those 50 strikes had bombs supplied by iran. how do they figure into this whole
